Does tillage should be an evaluation factor in the breeding program for major cereal and legume crops ?
Conservation agriculture practices are becoming more important in rainfed drylands due to its potential to minimize climatic risk, reduce soil erosion and improve soil quality and water availability. Due to minimum disturbance ...
Evaluation of ICARDA barley germplasm for resistance to spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) in India
Cultivation of resistant varieties is considered to be the cheapest way to combat plant diseases
particularly in developing countries where most of the barley farmers are marginal and unable to
afford costly fungicides. ...
Food uses of barley
Barley grain is used as feed, malt, and food. Our ancestors depended on barley as a staple food more than we
do now. Barley played an important role in the origin and development of the Neolithic culture.
Since its ...
Safe movement of food and forage crops germplasm: ICARDA’s experience in the Arab region
Germplasm exchange for research and breeding purposes is essential for crop improvement in the face of climate change and population growth. To contribute towards achieving sustainable development goals, the germplasm ...
Genome wide association analysis for stripe rust resistance in barley seedlings and adult plant stage in India
Barley stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, PSH) occurs worldwide and is a major fungal
disease in barley in Southern Asia. In order to identify and the estimate effects of loci underlying
quantitative resistance ...
Effects of seed dressing pesticides on the spread of Faba bean necrotic yellows virus on faba bean and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV on barley and oat
The effects of two seed-dressing pesticides in reducing the spread of aphid-transmitted Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV, genus Nanovirus, family Nanoviridae) and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV, genus ...
Evaluation of exotic barley germplasm against yellow rust in India
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop in India currently being cultivated in 0.67
m ha with production of 1.6 m tonnes. The crop suffers from many foliar diseases with yellow rust
(Puccinia striiformis ...
Barley improvement programs at ICARDA to meet the global challenges
The International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) is one of the 15 CGIAR centers and has a global mandate for barley improvement, specifically for more than 19 million ha of barley grown in dry areas ...
GGE biplot model for environmental delineation and identification of resistant sources for stripe rust and spot blotch in India
Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei) and spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) are major
biotic constraints in yield maximization in barley in India. Stripe rust is wide spread in different
agro-ecologies of India ...
Evaluation of diverse sets of barley germplasm for resistance to scald disease (Rhynchosporium secalis)
Barley is one of the most important field crop in the drylands of North Africa and West Asia
region. It has multiple uses (food, feed and malt) and is known for its better adaptation to drought
and salinity. However, its ...
